A Story About Cd tuition.


Mr.. Murphy, veteran stenographer of the
senate, told me to-day story about Thorn as
ii. Benton had never heard before, There
has always been dispute whether Congress
should adjourn at midnight OF March or at
noon on March 4. The latter idea has pre-
vailed, although for many years there was a
struggle over &c each year. Mr.. Benton was
one OF those who insisted hat the session ex-
PRED with the calendar day at midnight on
March 3. and he used regularly to raise the
point. One year when Orr. of South Caro-
lima, was in the chair Mr.. Benton arose at
midnight to point of order, and declared
that in his opinion the legal existence OF the
Senate had expired. Orr asked if the Senator
from Missouri nsis ed upon his pt int of or
der that he was not longer Senator, Ben
toms term expiring that day. Mr.. Benton
responded that ne did,

by his own confession he is not EMIT ed to it,"
The sally was greeted with laughter, and
Mr.. Benton responded that with the permits
sion of the Senator from South Carolina he
would claim his privilege as an ex.member of
the senate and remain.

for money" Now 1t is possible for all
kinds of labor, that are not bad In
themselves, to be done in such q spirit,
that not only shall the immediate end
of sustcnance be secured, but that also
Interior and higher ends shall be At
tained. All work Is one, whether II b
Of tho hand or the brain, Of the fac.
tory or Of the study. Its nobility de-
pends on the spirit Of the worker. He
who works solely for himself, for the
material results of his labor, can not
work nobly. The pursuit Of wealth
purely for wealth's sake is an enter
prise Of no higher level than the fox's
pursuit Of his prey. 1t is even lower,
just because it might be SO much higher
and is not. But every task may be
made real service to humanity, and
90 tribute to God. There is thus
the possibility of greatness in the hum
blest vocation. Let me illustrate. You
are, for example, a mechanic. You are
dependent on the wages of your labor
for your support. If you have wife, or
children. or parents, whose bread must
come from you. you have in them a
continual stimulus to unselfish toll. But
besides that, you have it in your power
to do work which shall be benefit to
society. The better your work is done,
the larger is that benefit. If you build
house. you may have an eye simply to
the price which you are to receive for
building 1t, and then your work will be
a task servilely done. But you may
also have an eye to the real
meaning Of what you do. You are
building home for some one. The
uses to which it is set apart may give
it conservation in your eyes, so that
you shall have a higher motive to do
your work we'll than you can possibly
find in mere wages. You can put en-
thusiasnl, and love of the fit and beauti-
full, and conscience, into your word, as
honest James Carlyle put his con-
science into the stone walls that he laid.
You can thus ennoble your toll and lift
it into tho sphere of moral achievement.
So with every kind of industry. Mere
work for wages is essentially selfish
and unworthy. Work done for hu-
manity will not bring less wages, and
it will bear in it beauty and dignity
that is better than all wages. You
may ennoble every task by bringing to
it the purpose to do it we'll, by having
q pure pride in its excellence of quality,
and by cherishing the thought Of its
utility to others, apart from the price
in money which it costs.
Agaid. your work may be ennobled
by the purpose of making it tributary
to your power and means of doing good.
He who labors for money with the sim
cere determination to use money bene-
ficiently, is so far living unselishly. Il
true love of God and man be the
dominant motive of our lives, we shall
covet honest gain because such gain
makes possible generous ministry to
human need. Such motive takes all
sordiness out of industry. 1t makes in.
dustry itself a sacrament. Itexalts the
commonest tasks into the realm oi
Christly service.-Rev. Philip s. Morom

by Prof. James johnson, and was at.
tended by about so teachers. Prof.
johnson is earnest, practical and in
defatigable in his efforts to improve
the condition OF the public schools OF
this section; and if the teachers of
Hardy county do not understand their
business more thoroughly, and do bet
ter work this winter than sver before.
il will not be because the best meth

easily be reduced TO practice. SUI

the programme that interested US
most was tue being introduced TO the

Friday afternoon, and the rest of the
day we spent in watching a game of
baseball between the Reds & Blues.
The two clubs were playing the eighth

mine which is the better nine. The
Blues won which left bob teams
